pilgrim storms

Posted to Action Poetry




Mountains and sandy feet
stretch dead on the bed.

My miles have metred,
Melissa.

Loved that,
but why
did I write that?

Loved you,
in a bottle.
That has already broken
down.

So I wonder,
still taken by
this storm.

and

I pass through
villages left by water.
No feather or sombre branches drenched.

Just a trench,
where I slipped
and slept.

This time,
it is me that is wet.
